Boner in a public sauna - What would you do?

Turned around and noticed a naked New Age hippie weirdo doing hardcore yoga moves. Yuck. I continued reading, dozed off for a bit and when I came to the first thing I saw was the hippie's nut sack & butt hole about 7 uncomfortable feet from my face. Double yuck.
:rofl
 
I did bring up that he was gay and I still feel it is relevant. I did not bring it up in my first post b/c I didn't think it was the most important part of the story but as I starting reading the comments, I felt it was a detail that needed to be considered.

Maybe you have never been in a sauna before. It is a 120 plus degrees in there...you don't accidently get a hard on. Even if he did, would it not have been simple courtesy to wrap a towel around his waist? He had a hard on before coming in and intentionally walked in a 10x10 room with two other guys and postured in a way that made it impossible for me to enjoy my experience. From others posting, I see they could and would have shrugged it off...I could not and do not feel I should've had to. Again, we obviously tick differently and I totally respect your POV and just hope you can do the same.

I'm sorry you were uncomfortable. I know I'm a bit jaded when it comes to situations like this; I've lived in places where my personal comfort and safety were threatened almost daily. I'd chalk this up to a "WTF" moment, but certainly not something that would affect me at a deep level.
 
My suggestion is not to "deal with it" but that there is nothing to deal with. I.E. unless he approached you with the boner... its all to do about nothing.

How about if the guy instead of sprouting a trunk, he farted a long noisy, smelly fart? Is there something to deal with then? Could we fairly say it isn't considerate behavior?

Thank Ej. It makes me sad and angry to think you or anyone would have to live like that in this day and age. And by no means am I trying to compare my slight, temporary discomfort with the challenges you have faced on a daily basis. I just have never been in a situation like that and it threw me off. I really meant for this to be a more light hearted thread (thus gratuitous use of the word boner) to be honest. I have definitely had a good laugh about it with some co-workers although a few responded more Moondoggish.

If someone were to fart in an inclosed space, then they are in fact invading your personal space with their actions. You sitting naked with an erection doesn't involve me any more that I decide it involves me?

R.E. Mrs. Glows and Mr. RR70 have a solid friendship so I would simply take their banter as having nothing to do with your story, even though it occurs in your thread.

Oh my dog......

I want to get you drunk, and make you post so you will stop sounding so much like a lawyer.

Something simple like

"EJ and That filthy commie are friends, so they are just taking jabs at each-other"

I'm not even touching the fart post....because I have enough Robitussin in me that it would get really weird.
 
He should have put a little robe on it.

Or one of these:

The fart doesn't involve you either, unless you decide it does. There are no bad smells or good smells until you decide they are bad or good.

The only real difference between this example and the boner is in which of the five senses is involved. In each case, other people in proximity give meaning to the stimulus.

This was where I was going in my response to jacksprat. The whole idea of ignoring something that doesn't "involve" or "directly" effect you is a slippery slope. When I see someone throwing trash out of their window in a parking lot it doesn't directly involve/effect me but it's one of my pet peeves and something I will always take action on.

I see the point you are trying to make, I simply do not agree. You can not avoid breathing while in the sauna for very long, thus good bad or indifferent the smell is in your personal space. Where as boner or no boner you can simply choose not to look and it is not in your personal space.

Been waiting for someone to bring that up!

Now I can say; "never trust a fart, never waste a hard-on"!

Thanks.

No way man, those towels are bathed in powerful chemicals, I wouldn't want something like a harsh and rough-textured towel hanging on my engorged fun stick.

Baldy, I got something for you. Hope to get it before Christmas. I'll ping you when I get it

Ever meet anyone who thinks other people's farts don't smell bad?
